Quote by Salvatore Satta
The birth of thought in the depths of the spirit, the shaping and ordering of it into periods, the translation into signs, and above all the transference of it from one spirit to another, the communication that is, if only for an instant, the meeting of two beings, with the unforeseeable consequences that such a meeting always causes, is in fact a miracle; except that the moment one stops to think about it one can't even write a letter.
Summary

It emphasizes the miraculous nature of this exchange of ideas, as two individuals come together and inspire each other in unforeseeable ways. However, the quote also suggests the difficulty of capturing this miraculous process in writing, as the act of contemplating it often leads to a loss of words.
